Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game."

Laughter shook the general. "How extraordinarily droll you are!" he said. "One does not expect nowadays to find a young man of the educated class, even in America, with such a naive, and, if I may say so, mid-Victorian point of view. It's like finding a snuff-box in a limousine. Ah, well, doubtless you had Puritan ancestors. So many Americans appear to have had. I'll wager you'll forget your notions when you go hunting with me. You've a genuine new thrill in store for you, Mr. Rainsford."

"Thank you, I'm a hunter, not a murderer."

"Dear me," said the general, quite unruffled, "again that unpleasant word. But I think I can show you that your scruples are quite ill founded."

The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein

I.

Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"

II.

Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."

III.

And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.

does anyone have any tips on overusing words I am having trouble overusing the word hero in my essay

name the song and artist
I don't wanna go to work
I just wanna lie here in bed all day
Working for minimum wage ain't to good of pay
Nowhere I'd rather be
Oooh In the sea, that's where I belong
Maybe with my band
Jammin on this reggae song
But it's time to go to work now
Maybe I'l come instead
Maybe Heaven will fall to earth
Better make it quick

I go on through my days
Oooh Like a Man in a drunken haze
Life will find a way no matter what they say

I tossed and truned all night
Oooh and sat in my bed
I try to make it rite
But I forget about it instead

The boss says come in here
But I pretend that I'm asleep
My life is falling falling
I'm in trouble deep

Maybe I'll talk to god
But will he talk to me
And I'm trying to be stong now
But I'm so da** weak

Students at Gardell High School cannot even take notes on a tablet or laptop because doing so is regarded as a classroom distraction by teachers.

When the time comes to make their way to the workplace, Gardell students need to be prepared with specific job skills and adding computer labs at school will help.

Society relies heavily on technology; therefore, Gardell High School needs to help its students succeed by incorporating technology into the classroom.

A few nearby schools have raised enough donations from the business community so that they can purchase extra computers to create additional computer labs.​
